alexwestreich Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 What are these view boundaries in the 3D space view called? I havent' seen them before and I'm not sure how I turned them on. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee jblock Posted October 10, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 10, 2019 @alexwestreich it looks like Cropped Perspective is turned on in your Document Preferences>Display tab. 1 Quote Link to comment

Drew L Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 What is the use case for Cropped Perspective anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 It used to be the only way to do a perspective view before Viewports. Now the viewport boarder basically acts as the crop object of a perspective view. But it is still available if you want a limited perspective on a design layer. Quote Link to comment
Drew L Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 That's why I only see it when I open a really old file. Good to know. Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 One remaining use is if you're working in your Design Layer and have a perspective view set up (for a rendering), you can turn on Cropped Perspective which will allow to zoom in without actually moving your point of view forward in space. So your composition and perspective amount stay the same but you can zoom in closer to objects to work on them. Note that when using RW cameras the crop boundary matches the aspect ratio and framing of the camera object, which can be useful (and in fact, I like it better than the weird blue corner rectangles of the camera object). Typically though you'll want Cropped Perspective turned off when in general working mode. 1 Quote Link to comment
